Except for tuberculin itself, the same was found in 111 patients with tuberculosis. In common with patients with tuberculosis and leprosy, those with rheumatoid arthritis did not respond to common mycobacterial (group i) antigen. Three DR ha...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA-DR antigens and rheumatoid arthritis in Arabs.
Eighty five Arab patients with classical and definite rheumatoid arthritis were typed to determine the prevalence of HLA A, B, C, and DR antigens. A significant increase in the prevalence of HLA-A10, B8, B21, and DR3 was found in comparison with a control population matched for age and sex.

متن کاملHLA DR antigens and disease expression in rheumatoid arthritis.
Ninety-four patients with rheumatoid arthritis who possessed one or more of the HLA DR alloantigens 2, 3, or 4 were studied to investigate the genetic influence on disease severity and prognosis. In those with a disease duration of less than 10 years radiological damage was less in patients with DR2 than in those without this antigen. When current joint scores were compared, patients with this ...
متن کاملHLA-DR antigens and HLA-DQ beta chain polymorphism in susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis.
Forty four patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were studied for HLA-DR antigens and for HLA-DQ beta chain gene restriction fragment length polymorphism using DNA hybridisation. A significant increase in the prevalence of the DR4 antigen and a tendency towards an increase of DR1 was found in patients with RA. No allelic form of HLA-DQ restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns was inc...
متن کاملTuberculosis and Tuberculin Tests in Subhuman Primates *

More recently it has been recognized that the disease is a serious menace both to the welfare of the animals and to that of human contacts. About 25 per cent of more than 2000 monkeys and anthropoids used by the Laboratory of Physiology of the Yale Unive...
